[jeremycherfas] I started to read it, but quickly got bored in a kind of I-already-know-all-this-what’s-new? way

[capjamesg] It looks like there is no movie pick for this month? 👀 https://indieweb.org/IndieWeb_Movie_Club
# [capjamesg] [tantek] I might go and see The Social Reckoning tomorrow. Not sure yet.
[Al_Abut] joined the channel
# [Al_Abut] [capjamesg] good catch. I might revisit some old tech movies in honor of Social Reckoning. Not sure I can stomach Social Network again though, so open to suggestions…?
# [Al_Abut] Pirates of Silicon Valley is a bit of a classic but also campy. Same with the one about BlackBerry, neither are on the same level as Aaron Sorkin
# offeringofpie The net, or hackers, they're right there! 😎
# [Al_Abut] Haha. I watched Hackers for the first time ever about this time last year because [tantek] started live-streaming it before an indieweb event
# [Al_Abut] Never seen The Net
# [Al_Abut] Ooo, maybe Girl with the Dragon Tattoo? The original Swedish series is even better than the movies IMO
# offeringofpie it's campy too
# offeringofpie the net i mean
# offeringofpie there was a series of the dragon tattoo? 😮 I've only seen the swedish films
# [social] Red from the The Colors Trilogy by Krzysztof Kieślowski (it is in French with Subtitles)
# [social] Big Hero 6 is always good for a watch
# thamara_k Red is my favourite
# thamara_k out of the three
# [social] Same. I really like Blue a lot, but it is gutting and I need to be in a good headspace and to have 2 or 3 days to have that destroyed after. White bothered me on first watch and didn’t make it through it, but on a second watch years later it just was meh. I have DVD and BluRay Criterion Collection of the trilogy.
# [social] I did a slow watch of Red a year ago (watched it over a week) and I was amazed how little dialog it had in the first part of the film. It also made me miss living in Europe.
# [social] The ads for Reckoning have me not all that interested in sitting and watching poor decision that are impacting us condensed into 90 minutes or so.
# [social] Heh, not my idea of “entertainment”.
# [social] It has the feeling of when I’ve been the 3rd person in dental emergency surgery for friends for root canals. (When done on weekends in a closed office and it is the doctor and patient and laws here say there must be a third person)

# [Al_Abut] [social] what do you think about a short blog post about Red and how it's ok to watch it by skipping Blue and White?
# [Al_Abut] I realize I’ve been sort of putting off going with that trilogy because it felt like too much homework and you may have just cut that Gordian knot
# [capjamesg] I am curious about The Social Reckoning. I share a concern that it might end up being quite depressing though.

# [capjamesg] I’ll report back tomorrow if I end up going!

# [Al_Abut] I’m OK with depressing. Not all art and movies have to be entertainment and I enjoy mature themes.
# [Al_Abut] I don’t think anyone listening to this chat should feel a need to watch the social reckoning. We probably all know way too much, just like doctors watching the insider or journalist watching Spotlight.
# [social] The connection of the Three Colors Trilogy is an essence of being French and French social culture. They are mostly stand alone non-interconnected films other than cameos of main characters in the background as the tether.
# [Al_Abut] Nice. So am I putting you on the spot with forcing your hand on a pick? 😉
# [Al_Abut] I'm only joking about volunteering you as tribute, I can also blog it out myself since I’m overdue for recapping this year’s movie events as a post and setting up the next event. I just didn’t want to steal your thunder if you’re down to write a bit about it (that’s all that’s really needed to “host”)

[KevinMarks] If you have more time the series Halt And Catch Fire is very good
rMdes joined the channel
# [capjamesg] Yeah ^^

# [KevinMarks] Well, I think it's series 3 when they catch up with the Web, but a lot of the things they do are indieweb adjacent
# [KevinMarks] Oh no, it's season 4
